Steps to Apply for the Scholarship

A. Complete and confirm the Request for Benefits (RdA) on Uniweb (this also applies to those enrolling during the academic year);

B. Request the issuance of the ISEE/ISEE Parificato (Indicator of Equivalent Economic Situation) for subsidized services for university study rights (this also applies to those enrolling during the academic year);

C. Finalize enrollment for the academic year 2024/25 by paying the first installment of the tuition fees (by September 30 or, for first-year students, by the date indicated in the admission notice). Failure to complete any of the above steps correctly will result in exclusion from the competition.

The Request for Benefits, saved in your personal area on UNIWEB, constitutes the sole proof of submission of the application; therefore, it is recommended to ensure its presence.

  ISEE Parificato
for international students (EU and EXTRA-EU)

It is a different certification required for:

• international students residing abroad (outside Italy), with a household residing abroad (outside Italy);
• international students residing in Italy, but with earned income of less than € 9,000.00 and with a household residing abroad (outside Italy)
• Italian students residing abroad (outside Italy), enrolled or not in the Italian Register of Residents Abroad (AIRE). Issuance of the ISEE Parificato certificate must be requested exclusively from the CAF affiliated with the University, the details of which may be viewed at www.unipd.it/en/isee  

"ISEE Parificato" is an official certificate which indicates your financial standing in any given year on the basis of family status, earnings, property and expenses. You will need to provide information and documentation regarding you and your family’s annual income and assets.

Please be aware that you might need several months to collect the documents required to obtain the ISEE Parificato, have them translated and legalised, etc. We therefore strongly recommend to start the process as soon as possible.

The ISEE Parificato calculation service is free of charge and must be requested from the CAF that has an agreement with the University and ESU:
